Fund in Memory of
Brayden Anthony Tambone

Brayden is a loveable boy who was born with a heart condition called Long QT 1. We talk to Brayden openly about what he has and what he is limited in doing. In Brayden’s world he knows he has a heart condition that he takes medication for two times a day. He is aware that he can’t play any competitive sports.

How do you explain to a 7 year old he can’t play football, baseball, soccer, or even basketball especially when he looks up to his older brother who is so active in all sports.

Brayden constantly has a baseball glove in his hand throwing a ball up in the air and playing catch with himself in the house. At night he falls asleep watching Sports Center, a ball game or the game highlights. He has such a great personality and he is so creative to think if he can’t play ball maybe he will be a professional umpire. We teach him there are so many things in life besides sports but we do get tears from him trying to understand why he can’t play like the other kids.

He has such a good spirit and a constant energy about him we know he will find his way in life, whatever he chooses to do. Our son Brayden, teaches us daily to live life now.
